Question by Think about it:
Why does New York have so much rats, roaches and bedbugs?

Whenever I meet a New Yorker they are not afraid of bugs and say they live with rats and roaches. The one time I saw a cockroach I was so scared I called 911 for help and now they are infested with yucky dirty bedbugs and even have a bedbug commissioner hired by the gov. who was interviewed on CNN this morning.
Sorry but there are tens of milions of people in Los Angeles n I’ve never seen a rat or bedbug

rats, roaches and every other type of pest is attracted to the presence of humans, and what we leave lying around. The more people in an area, the more pests.

I have never met a new yorker who actually claims to live with rats and roaches. As for not seeing pests in LA, well, u may be rather unobservant. Pests are common to every city. They go where the food and shelter are. Cities provide these resources.

Where in New York are all these bugs and shit? I’ve lived here my entire life and have never had a problem with bugs in my house

It’s all because of that damn Ground Zero Mosque!!

Seriously, though, not to put too find a point on it, it’s because, underneath all the glitz and the glamor and the bright lights of Broadway, New York City is really a total sh*thole.

It’s true, and I oughta know, I was born and raised here.

Good luck!… ☺
